I recently discovered ventoy and it’s so useful. Don’t have to flash isos anymore and can have a whole iso library. So useful.
Yeah, I like having a few isos on Ventoy for live booting from random PCs for troubleshooting. Very convenient being able to have multiple architectures, DEs, versions of distros to boot from on one drive.
Just because almost nobody need to have an iso library.
I had the same thought and then didn’t use it once, virtualization for the win.
What’s so useful having about an iso library? Isn’t it just hoarding of outdated images very quickly? What’s even the use case?
I am very curious, because I don’t see it. You usually don’t install so many different machines in any timeframe where it might be useful. For recovery you just pick one and you really don’t need it often either.
When I did supoort I would usually have a number of cds for different tasks. Ubcd, winpe, knoppix , a specialized winpe to restore from synology backups etc.
Some of the modern tools don’t require it. Backups are easier than ever etc.
Ventoy isn’t a new concept. I have a usb drive with a bunch of isos. Just don’t have much use. Because I’ll burn an iso when I need to with Rufus.
It’s very useful, but occasionally I’m not able to install some distro using ventoy and have to give it its own dedicated USB stick. Most works fine though.
